Release Notes -- Apache Jackrabbit Core -- Version 1.4.2
Introduction
------------
This is the 1.4.2 patch release of the jackrabbit-core component of
Apache Jackrabbit, a fully conforming implementation of the Content
Repository for Java Technology API (JCR).
This release contains fixes to a number of issues, most notably the
concurrent modification exception reported in JCR-1359 and two concurrent
versioning deadlocks reported in JCR-1462 and JCR-1480. See below for
the full list of changes in this release.
See the Apache Jackrabbit website at http://jackrabbit.apache.org/ for
more information.
Release Contents
----------------
Unlike previous Jackrabbit releases that contained a full set of components,
this patch release only contains the jackrabbit-core component. The component
is distributed both as a source archive and a pre-compiled binary.
* Source archive (jackrabbit-core-1.4.2-src.jar)
The source archive contains the full source code of this release
in a "jackrabbit-core-1.4.2" directory. Use the following commands
(or the equivalent in your environment) to build the component
with Maven 2 and Java 1.4 or higher:
$ jar xf jackrabbit-core-1.4.2-src.jar
$ cd jackrabbit-core-1.4.2
$ mvn install
* Pre-compiled binary (jackrabbit-core-1.4.2.jar)
Core of the Apache Jackrabbit content repository implementation.
